Aside from the obvious hits,"Keep On It", Object Of My Desire and "What You Been Missing" my personal favorite is a tune called "This Is So Right" I believe it is off the It's Yours" lp. What a slow jam. I would put that against any slow jam out right now! Upper persuasion for the lower invasion | |

"Keep On It" from 1981 is definately their best song by far. It doesn't even sound like the same group that was making music in the late 1980s. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I use to spin another slow cut from the 'It's All Yours' album called, "Am I Still The One"... It's pretty slick.   National Funk League✮✮ | |

My favorite Starpoint song is their 1983 hit "Delicious".That's a kickass Minneapolis-styled jam! Reminds me of the Vanity 6 album,for some reason....sexy,stripped down funk! | |

Renee be saaanging on All night long. Vainandy mentioned keep on it. To me it actually was like the stuff that they were making in the late 80's. However tracks in the late 80's like what you been missing, he wants my body, tough act to follow, and midnight love were outstanding. Object of my desire is a good song too but radio stations act as though that was the only good song starpoint had so they run this one in the ground. [Edited 8/11/08 19:34pm] Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Vainandy mentioned keep on it. To me it actually was like the stuff that they were making in the late 80's. "Keep On It" was the first and only song I had ever heard from Starpoint in 1981. The song had male vocals and just sounded harder than what followed later. I had assumed that it was an all male funk band like Cameo or Lakeside that threwdown hard and funky that was concerned with funk first and ballads (if any) second. What I heard later on into the 1980s had mostly female vocals and I always considered songs by females weaker than songs by men. Remember, in the early 1980s, R&B was dominated by mostly all male funk bands and radio rarely played two songs in a row by females. I rarely played two songs in a row by females either because most females weren't throwing down hard like the males were. There were exceptions of course like Donna Summer or Patrice Rushen, but you know, female artists, like everyday females, are a lot more concerned with love and emotional feelings (gag me) than males are. The men liked the kick ass music (at least the bad ass cool men did....not the weak ass Freddie Jacksons....yuck).

. . . [Edited 8/12/08 9:01am] Yeah i get ya. I had a hard time getting into luther vandross because i was into the funk bands. I did like luther's busy body album but when he started watering down his songs like give me a reason and stop for love i wasn't feeling it. The reason i said keep on it reminded me of their late 80's stuff is because it seem like it would have fit right in with the restless album which i admit was more laid back than some of their earlier stuff. At this point the group was more into midtempo songs and ballads;however; she wants my body and DYBO were uptempo songs that i could get into. Don't laugh at my funk

Wanting You was always my favorite Starpoint song.
...An aside: They played at my high school Senior night trip to Disneyland in 1986. I watched three shows in a row while others were riding rides.  | |
